World Penguin Day – Who
doesn't love penguins? Today is a day for the whole world to love
them! http://worldpenguinday.com/
DNA Day – On this day in 1953,
James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin
published papers on the structure of DNA. Then, on this day in 2003,
the genome project was declared as complete as it was financially
able to be. The Senate and House of Representatives declared April
25, 2003 to be DNA Day, intending it to be just a one day
celebration. However, several other non-governmental groups have
declared it to be World DNA Day or International DNA Day, every year
since then.
East Meets West Day – On this
day in 1945, U.S. and Russian troops met in Germany for the first
time.
Hairstylists Appreciation Day –
A hairstylist is not just a hairstylist. They are hair experts and
psychologists all in one. Show your hairstylist how much you
appreciate them today.
Malaria Awareness Day –
Designated by proclamation of President George W. Bush in 2007, this
day is intended to focus our awareness on the plight of all of the
people who suffer from this disease. They are primarily located on
the continent of Africa where 3,000 children die every day and over a
million people die every year from this treatable disease.
Hug A Plumber Day or Plumbers Day –
For those of us who are not handy in this area, where do we go when
the toilet stops flushing or the sink leaks? That's right, you go to
someone who knows what they are doing with water and pipes and such,
your friendly neighborhood plumber. Give him a hug before he climbs
under the sink and gets all dirty.
Red Hat Society Day – Born of
the simple idea of having fun as you age, this wonderful group of
ladies has only been around for about 15 years and in that time they
have grown in number from one to thousands all over the country.
Ladies 50 and up wear red hats and purple clothes (the clashing is on
purpose) and Ladies under 50 wear pink hats and lavender clothes.

Yom HaZikaron – This is a day
of remembrance for Israeli fallen soldiers since 1860 and victims of
terrorism and is also known as Israel's official Memorial Day.
Take Our Daughters & Sons To
Work Day – For twenty years now the goal of this day is to help
strengthen the connections between work and education and the
relationships between parents and their children. This day is
primarily for children between 8 and 18 years old.
To celebrate today arrange for your
kids to meet other kids on either the east or west side of town
depending on where you live. Then, while they are playing, go online
and buy some mosquito screens and ship them off to Africa. Then send
some of your DNA off to be sequenced and head to the hairstylist
where he/she will be happy to hear all about your day so far. Top
off your new hair with a pink or red hat, depending on your age and
take your son or daughter to work with you this afternoon. On the
way home from work, stop at the nearest zoo and take a peek at the
penguins. When you get home, thank the plumber who has been working
for hours trying to fix your leaky plumbing.
